that's a very bold statement to make VT3C
there are plenty of 4 door sedans i consider more sporty than a 2 door coupe
even some coupes shouldn't even be considered sports cars ie, Hyundai Tiburon

a 4 door BMW M5 is sporty... and a 4 door AMG Merc is sporty... WRXs look sporty to me... as do Lancer Evos.....Quote:

V8 supercars motorsport racing....u still think arnt sport cars....hmmm watever.
I suppose u think ur civic is sporty...
not the best of statements imo.
hmmm, wow it looks aights.
2.0L iVTEC engine aye?
well to tell you guys don't bother modifying it that much, you won't get much power from the k20[a,z]3, as you'll sitll be left in the dust by a type-r.
unless you turbocharge or supercharge then u'll get decent performance out of it.
And if you want to get the Sport 2.0L- and want to modify it to go fast, then look at ONLY Manual, there is hardly any aftermarket for the AUTO, THERE IS but not alot, and the gains will be 10-20kw max. You may hope that jackson racing put out a S/c but ive been waiting for 2 years already when they announced it would be out, also you may hope for a hondata for an auto, but i wouldnt bother waiting.
the manuals may benefit from hondata kpro, headers, exhaust.
HOWEVER you won't be able to interchange cams, or whatever from the TypeR DC5.
cause K20[a.z]3 is a complete different engine from k20[a.z]2, except for same engine mounts.
this is just from my experience with a integra base

i don't think u can call any 4 door a sports car.
YES they may LOOK sporty, but they aren't classified as sports cars.
4door cars with fast performance or look 'sporty' are classified as saloons
a sport car is a 2 door car with 2 seats only, so u can't call a gt-r a sports car.
sports cars: ie/ NSX, s2000, mx5, nissan 350z, mazda rx7, porsche boxster etc
actually, the carsguide review is based on the civic in NZ. they are getting their civic from japan, which includes a whole lot of other goodies like the VSA, etc.
OZ is getting the civic from thailand, and the price list says 29,990 for the 2.0 sport manual. think we MAY get the manual 2.0.
What a load of crap!Quote:

That's right, they're not sports cars, just "sporty" cars with a bit of stick and 4 seats
:rolleyes:
By the way, the Civic is not a sports car....my Jazz is!
well, not even the engine mounts are the sameQuote:

whoops my bad about the engine mounts then...
um 911s are classified as coupes or GTs and also the m3
skylines are classified as GTs[grand tourer], hence GT-R?
what I'm tryin to say is that this is what they really are, nowadays its abused and any 2 door car/ fast performance car is called a sports car.
